Clemson on Mack's short list & football recruiting notes

6-5 Tevin Mack of Dreher Saturday released his shortened list and it includes Clemson and USC. The others on his list are Georgia, VCU, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech. USC is the only program on the list that hasn't offered Mack. He has no order to his list.

WR Auden Tate of Tampa, a former Irmo resident, plans to announce his commitment Tuesday. He is considering Clemson, Florida State, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Maryland and South Florida. Tate has never visited Clemson but considering the Tigers' success recruiting in Tampa, and he's friends with the Tigers' recent commitments from the city, they can't be discounted.

Junior LB Tre Lamar of Roswell, GA visited Clemson Saturday, his second visit to Clemson this year. Clemson and USC are among his early offers.
